        Israel to halve Gaza aid over slow return of dead hostages

          300 trucks per day are still coming in, which is plenty to keep Gaza fed. Not all aid is food. There’s also construction materials and all kinds of other stuff.

        No, they very obviously could not have. Israel was intent on committing genocide regardless of what Palestinians did. You’re blaming the victims of an atrocity and should feel ashamed.

          There was a ceasefire on October 6th 2023.

          How did digging in deep and fighting tooth and nail work out for Hamas? It invited total destruction.

              Medical sources announced the martyrdom of citizen Nidal Eid Salmi Abu Hlayb (62 years old) from Al-Qarara, north of Khan Younis, and the arrival of his body at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital after he was shot by Israeli “Quadcopter” drone fire.

              Are there even quadcopter drones with guns operated by the IDF?

              These people were likely crossing the yellow line that was agreed upon in the ceasefire deal. The IDF is still in Gaza and enforces a security perimeter. There have been a couple of these cases.

              Of course I’m not there and don’t know if the soldiers stuck to the rules of engagement or were trigger happy assholes.

          Are you aware that Hamas considers all of Israel to be occupied Palestine?

          You are in fact suggesting, Israel could have just rolled over, dissolved itself, and surrendered to Hamas.

          The deals Hamas offered were practically an Israeli surrender. Why should Israel allow Hamas to stay in power, claim victory, rearm, and do another October 7th in five years?

            Are you aware that Hamas has no advanced weapons to be able to destroy Israel? Are you aware that I do not support the destruction of Israel although Israel is the one trying to destroy Palestine right now?

            The deals Hamas offered was not an Israeli surrender because Israel always rearrest people released during previous deal.

            Netenyahu always said he reject any kind of Palestinian state so why do you still act like Hamas is the problem and not Israel the occupier who refuse to return post 67 Palestinians land. Israel is not goin anywhere so what the hell do Israel keep building illegal settlements in the west bank and arms and protects the settler terrorists?

        They barricaded them in a prison city. They even blockaded any sea access they had. They shot tank rounds at children for fun. They eradicated every single building they could. Spare us the diatribe. Fuck Israel.

          When Israel left Gaza in 2005, there was no blockade. It took years of attacks until it was instated to stop the smuggling of weapons.

        When are we going to recognize that both Hamas and the current Israeli government are shitty murderous people that are backed by quite a big % of their population.

        It’s not about being pro-Israel or pro-Palestine. It’s about backing muderers or not.

        I suspect most of the killed hostages fell prey to Israeli bombs, anyway. Hamas probably has no clue about the whereabouts of the corpses because the people who were originally guarding them have been killed, too. That is going to be interesting…

        In the end, Israel is just waiting for a “justification” to continue the killing.

          not only that, but even if Hamas is in the wrong, starvation is a genocidal war crime.

          you don’t commit a genocide in response to anything

      Now that they’re almost done with the final solution? They’ll “accidentally” drop some bombs on schools/hospitals until a single Hamas member kills a military, then they’ll have excuse to continue bombing like before.

    The war has destroyed large swaths of Gaza and displaced about 90% of its some 2 million residents. It has also triggered other conflicts in the region, sparked worldwide protests and led to allegations of genocide that Israel denies.

    I think the war went on too long. But Israel had every right to retaliate after Oct 7th. I’n glad they did. But it should have stopped a couple months in. Not two whole years with massive unjust collateral damage.
